Barbell Standing Wide-Grip Curl

Coaching cues

• Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a barbell with an overhand grip, hands wider than shoulder-width apart.
• Let the barbell hang at arm's length in front of your thighs, with your palms facing away from your body.
• Keeping your upper arms stationary, exhale and curl the barbell upward by contracting your biceps.
• Continue to raise the barbell until your biceps are fully contracted and the barbell is at shoulder level.
• Hold the contracted position for a brief pause as you squeeze your biceps.
• Inhale and slowly begin to lower the barbell back to the starting position.
• Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
